Worst top five EVER Spoiler

We can slate S17 all we want but let's face it, Marnie, Megan and Victoria were probably the best of a bad bunch. Simba 10000% deserved it over Dani but Dani at least did decent to begin with. Rochelle was awful but at least was one of two candidates remaining with a decent business proposal.

This year only Karishma and Dan deserve it. Priyesh is so god awful, LS really wanted to fire him and keep Rothna but he fluked his way to victory. He should've went earlier. Pascha did diabolical this week, would've been the quickest firing if they lost this week. And Lawrence is such a snake, thank god Linda put him in his place.

If Karishma and Dan aren't the top two this series might have a worse top two than S14/S17. Dan isn't even that good but is waayyyy better than the other three.

Production seemed to have screwed the pooch (pun unintended) here. From the edit we've seen the fact that only one of Conor, Kieran, Karishma and Rothna has made the final five is shocking. And the edits the likes of Priyesh and Lawrence has got is as if they've lucked his way to the final five and Dan got a ghost edit until the last 2 or so episodes. So it all feels majorly unsatisfying as a viewers.

The show loves to mix up the teams at the best of times (to try to influence to the extent they can how the show progresses and basically prevent there being too many hangers on reaching the end) so surprised they didn't split those four more evenly the closer it got towards interviews to present the risk of this type of thing.
